Made In Chelsea star Bella Sharpe has quit the E4 series, MailOnline can reveal.
The fashion PR, 27, will not appear in the upcoming season following her bitter split from fellow cast member Reza Amiri-Garroussi and after she described starring in the show as ‘anxiety inducing.’
She joined Made In Chelsea last year as Reza’s love interest but the couple’s romance came to a dramatic end during filming of the series in Sydney.
Their relationship was plagued by Reza’s close bond with ex-girlfriend Ruby Adler, with the pair even kissing while they shot the Australian instalment.
After revealing that she suffered from anxiety and found appearing on the TV show ‘nerve-wracking’, Bella has left for good, with sources saying she has decided to focus on her career in fashion.

A TV source told MailOnline: ‘Bella has decided to leave Made In Chelsea after a year.
‘She joined the show as Reza’s partner and now they’re no longer together, she didn’t see much point in remaining on the series.
‘Bella had always hoped for a positive resolution with Rez and while they are friends, she and Ruby still struggle to see eye to eye.
‘Her fashion career is incredibly important to her and all she wants now is to focus on her work, without having to worry about any TV drama.’
Bella told MailOnline in August she had quit her PR job at high fashion brand Flannels to star on Made In Chelsea after it became ‘impossible’ to adhere to the demands of her workload and travel for the programme.
After starring on the series filmed in Corsica and Sydney, she said: ‘I was working at Flannels as a PR manager, and I was there for about a year and a half and then I went to Corsica.
‘I left Flannels because I needed to be at my desk for 9-6 every single day and it was just impossible. Now I’m freelancing in PR and working on a brand.’
Bella explained that she didn’t see herself on the series for years to come, insisting she would leave to pursue other prospects before turning 30.
She added: ‘I don’t want to be doing this past 30. If I’m still 30 and doing this then I have not achieved my career goal.’

Bella and Reza dated following the end of his 10-year long relationship with Ruby.
But their feelings for each other were still apparent and the couple grew close again as the cast filmed the latest series in Sydney, with Bella left heartbroken and humiliated by the betrayal.
She and Ruby had also been close friends but their bond had suffered as a result of the love triangle.
Bella said filming the show had caused her ‘anxiety’, particularly when she was flown out to Corsica without Reza’s prior knowledge.
Made In Chelsea is back this month with a new series and sees the return of former Love Island contestant Tina Stinnes.
James Taylor’s younger brother Jack is also a new addition to the programme along with Sam Vanderpump, whose aunt is Lisa Vanderpump, star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
MailOnline has contacted E4 for comment.
